He Paid the Price

Author: E. M. B. Hymnal: Vocal Gems #65 (1935) First Line: When I was lost, without a Savior Refrain First Line: He paid the price, He bore my burdens Lyrics: 1 When I was lost, without a Savior, My life as sinful as could be, My Father sent His Son from glory And Jesus paid the price for me. Chorus: He paid the price, He bore my burdens, His life He gave upon the tree; O, praise the Lord, He is my Savior, He paid the price the price for me. 2 It took His blood to make the ransom, His life He gave on Calvary; And there His precious heart was broken, He paid the price, the price for me. [Chorus] 3 With cruel hands they killed my Savior, They nailed His body to the tree; The crown of thorns they placed upon Him, He paid the price, the price for me. [Chorus] 4 O, how could I forget this Savior! Who gave Himself to set me free; I wish that you, my Friend, might know Him And know He paid the price for thee. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [When I was lost, without a Savior]
